The referendum is a key element of the Comprehensive Peace Agreement (CPA) which was signed in 2005 between the Government of Sudan and the Sudan People’s Liberation Movement (SPLM). It will enable people from Southern Sudan to make a decision on whether they wish to remain part of a united country or secede to form their own independent state. The situation following the referendum is of major concern and the reason for this emergency preparedness Appeal. The ACT Sudan Forum predicts a higher degree of unrest in the areas of Southern Sudan and the Transitional Areas. ACT members and their local partners are planning to prepare themselves so that they can respond timely and effectively to a predictable emergency. The areas of concern, 10 states in Southern Sudan and the transitional areas Abyei, Southern Kordofan State and Blue Nile State are also prone to complex and natural disasters which require life-saving responses in remote areas. DanChurchAid (DCA) is the requesting member in this Appeal and the lead agency for the entire emergency preparedness programme. Other ACT Alliance members in the Appeal are: Norwegian Church Aid (NCA), Christian Aid (CA), ICCO & Kerk in Aktie, Lutheran World Federation (LWF), FinnChurchAid (FCA), and the Sudan Council of Churches (SCC). The Appeal does not only cover activities of the ACT members but also of their 21 implementing partners. The objective of this 12-month Appeal is to build human resources and operational capacity of the ACT members and their local partners by providing emergency preparedness training, pre-positioning of essential shelter and water purification supplies, supplying local implementing partners with adequate communication and transport equipment, and promoting safety and security.

IMPLEMENTING ACT MEMBER INFORMATION DanChurchAid (DCA) DCA is a Danish faith-based, ecumenical, non-missionary, humanitarian non governmental organization (NGO) established in 1922 and working with local partners, international networks, churches and non- religious civil organizations with the stated objective: "To help and be advocates of oppressed, neglected and marginalized groups in poor countries and to strengthen their possibilities of a life in dignity." DCA has worked in Sudan since the mid-1980s, providing substantial emergency aid to war affected people in northern (Blue Nile, Darfur and South Kordofan States) and southern Sudan (Jonglei and Eastern Equatoria States). During the war, support was managed and channelled to Sudan from Denmark (Copenhagen) and Kenya (Nairobi) regional office primarily through church and church related partners. After signing the Sudan Comprehensive Peace Agreement (CPA) an overall strategy for DCA’s involvement in a more peaceful Sudan was developed and a regional office was established in Juba, southern Sudan in August 2007. This office is engaged in four states (Blue Nile and South Kordofan in the north; Eastern Equatoria and Jonglei in the south). Support to the people in Darfur is administered from Copenhagen. DCA’s Sudan programme focuses on an integrated and rights based approach that contributes to rebuilding the lives of conflict affected people. Specific thematic competencies include humanitarian aid, food security and livelihoods, and civic and political space (includes peace building), as well as provision of peace dividends through education and water and sanitation activities. Core to DCA programming is local capacity building. Together with partners, DCA also aims to engage legal duty bearers at local, state and national levels in efforts to build a more equitable society. DCA is a signatory to (amongst others) the SPHERE Project, Red Cross / NGO Code of Conduct, People in Aid and is a certified member of the Humanitarian Accountability Project (HAP). DCA is the overall lead coordinating agency in this Appeal and will be the recipient of all ACT funds.
